Hugh’s Filmhouse Festival 2016

5 Reasons why you should come to this year’s Filmhouse Festival!

We throw a huge movie screening every year, but the party is just the beginning. I’ve got 5 more reasons why you should come to my Rooftop Movie Screening!

We go big with Movie Screenings!

We bring out the BEST for you. There’s a huge screen so everyone everyone gets to see the action unfettered. We also make sure the movie is a HD version, so it’s in eye-popping colour, with the clearest sound.

It’s nice, windy and spacious so the kids can run around and everyone else can relax in a picnic-style environment.

We’re Screening Star Wars!

No Excuses this year not to come for what is one of the biggest movies in history. After 30 years, Star Wars returns to the big screen. I couldn’t wait to tell you, but now I can.

Thirty years after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, the galaxy faces a new threat from the evil Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) and the First Order. When a defector named Finn crash-lands on a desert planet, he meets Rey (Daisy Ridley), a tough scavenger whose droid contains a top-secret map. Together, the young duo joins forces with Han Solo (Harrison Ford) to make sure the Resistance receives the intelligence concerning the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), the last of the Jedi Knights.

You could win a $900 Custom Made Lightsaber

That’s right: You culd fulfill that Jedi fantasy of yours. We’ve worked with SaberMach for this year’s grand prize: A $900 Combat Lightsaber.

SaberMach is Singapore’s 1st & only professional combat saber sabersmith, so yes, you can duel with this prize.

Jean Danker is coming!

You know, Jean has been here for every Filmhouse Festival, since our first major screening of Wreck-it Ralph. I really like it that she tries to connect with everyone of us and makes us all feel like part of the Village. This year, I’ve invited her back once again to play games, hang out and have fun with everyone.

It’s family-bonding time!

I saw so many families have fun last year. If there is one thing I love, it’s watching kids running around and entire families enthralled by the magic happening on screen. Sitting amongst all of you, I loved listening to the kids sing “Let it Go” with all the lyrics already in their head. It’s just wonderful.
